When we swap old_top and new_top, we want to swap all fields except for
these, so we use bdrv_move_feature_fields() to move them back
(bdrv_swap):
tmp = *bs_new;
*bs_new = *bs_old;
*bs_old = tmp;
/* there are some fields that should not be swapped, move them back */
bdrv_move_feature_fields(&tmp, bs_old);
bdrv_move_feature_fields(bs_old, bs_new);
bdrv_move_feature_fields(bs_new, &tmp);
And I agree that refcnt is one of the fields that shouldn't be moved, so
it's in bdrv_move_feature_fields(). So isn't above right? Without these
lines, it *is* swapped.

OK!
